clean laundry

Starting a load of laundry at the Walpole laundromat, the end result to clean articles that are dirty. To pass the time we are out the door, off for a twenty minute run. Checking in, still fifteen minutes of washing to go we start hopping, skipping and jumping around the parking lot in a series of "drills". Switching the wet clean clothing into a large dryer we have more time to kill with more drills to accomplish. Finishing up the dryer's load we culminate our workout with three hard uphill strides. Packing the freshly laundered clothing up, sweet detergent smell light in the air reminding me of growing up with sweat drying to a salty crisp on skin that has worked a full day before this run, we none the less feel that the process has made ourselves clean.
